Yes, I'm aware of that, but the statement is still generally thought to
be associated with him. That's why I included the word 'allegedly'.

It doesn't really matter who said it, it exists, and is widely accepted
as wisdom, which it isn't. He probably didn't say the one about dice,
either, but again it is generally attributed to him.

Now that the Internet is with us, we can see that nobody ever said
anything that they were supposed to have said.
